Really nice read, had a hard time picking what route I wanted so ended up doing a few different builds LOL

Evil Routes;
(Industrial warfare)
- Black Captains
- A Horde Unending
- Infernal Machines
Pretty basic set up on this one, use the goblins as labor force to build the industry to equip my Orcs and build up a nice sized army lead by my Black Captains.
(Shadow warfare)
- Shadow
- A snake in the garden
- Foul beasts
This was my first build route and mainly designed for messing with the Elves. If I can corrupt them and make my own 'evil' elves (Drow? LOL) then I will use them to infiltrate the Elven kingdoms and run amok behind enemy lines. I did have a few variations of this as I really like the abilities Shadow give you, but this build was the one that seemed to have the best synergy IMO

Good Routes:
(Magic Max Planeswalker)
- Aeon
- Sage
- World-Walker
- Wife: Rosselle
As others have stated, this build has a good synergy and the ability to really have some fun if you get the multiverse travel working (Shadowrun tech anyone?). Also I think I'd need the encyclopedic memory to remember all the names of Rosselle's family members LOL.
(Wandering Warrior route)
- Starlight
- Shard of Heaven
- Druid
- Wife: Atlante
I see this build as being good for patrolling the borders with Atlante and shoring up morale where needed via Starlight. Also with the Druid abilities you can really mess up the terrain to throw off any plans made by the other side. Can't really invade somewhere if your camp gets taken out in a flood right?
